I'd like to say that this will be my last Monday Night RAW review, because I start school on Wednesday. I won't be able to stay up late enough to write my review, so look for it every Tuesday.
RAW Thoughts:
PROS:
-The Goldust/Lance Storm segment was hilarious. Why not let the two wrestle?
-The Rosey/Hurricane segment/match was funny as well.
-Goldberg vs. Flair was a pretty good match.
-JR is back!
-Bischoff vs. Kane was booked perfectly. It hyped the RVD/Kane match, the Shane/Bischoff match, and added more to Kane's character.
-Highlight Reel was awesome. The best part of the show IMO. Jericho had better win the Hair vs. Hair match.
-Triple H did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
-Christian actually got a clean win. Hopefully they will make him look like a strong champ this time.
CONS:
-The opening segment was pretty useless/boring.
-Mixed Tag Match was okay, but I wish that they would just end the Test/Steiner feud. It's boring, and Steiner has no mic skills "Your mass is bline!"
-Women's Triple Threat was pointless. I just know that this is setting up Lita's return.
-Dudley's vs. La Resistance was pointless, just building up for the SS match. What's with the new tights?
-Where was Theodore Long?
-Orton looked like Stacy Keibler in those HBK shorts.
-The Spike TV logo was an eyesore. I hope that they don't plug the network every week.
-Why have Bischoff/McMahon Part II? It was pretty weak the firt time. The only difference is that Shane will take a major bump.
Overall, I give the show a B-. It was pretty good at times, and it was pretty bad at times. 2 weeks until Summerslam and only 3 matches have been announced?

Holy frickin' cow.
Lords of Pain.net is reporting that Booker T hurt his back on the Austrailian tour last week, and lost the IC Title to Christian at a House Show on Saturday. The original plan for Summerslam was to have a fatal 4 way between Booker, Christian, Stiener, and Test. Now that Christian has the belt, the current plan is to have Christian defend against Hurricane at Summerslam (!!!).

« on: August 11, 2003, 06:33 PM »My personal fav. was the Fog Horn at the golf course... I must admit I'm guilty of doing drive-by air hornings at a particular course around town.This was my favorite part of the film as well. I also like the ending where the one guy sticks the toy car up his butt.

Saga '02-'04 / Re: New JABBA COMING-From ROTJ or ANH!!!
« on: August 10, 2003, 08:04 PM »
I like the idea about the new head with the moveable/removeable tongue, but an old torso? 
If they don't use the Vintage mold, then I'm guessing that they will either be using the POTF2 body (From the Han 2pack, with moving tail), or the Jabba Glob mold.

I'll have to wait and see photos of them, but right now my answer is NO, I WILL NOT BUY THEM.

Well, I don't know if I've already mentioned this, but the set will be a Shop @ Home Exclusive. You can preorder it starting tomorrow, and I believe that it comes out in October.
Also, I've heard that the Landing Pad can't fit the Falcon, but it can fit Jango's Slave 1.

Nice interview, but the answers weren't anything I haven't heard before. 
If they are waiting for stores to pick up the exclusive stuff, such as the Sandcrawler and Cantina Sets, then why not just ship them to all of the stores?

Sorry about the photo, I'll be more carefull next time. 
Found some more pics:

The landing pad looks like a waste of space, IMO. I also think that $70 would be a more reasonable price. FBTB has also said that there might be more sets that add on to this one.
Now where's Mace Windu?

(picture removed)
EDIT by JediMAC:
Adam's probably right (see below). Sorry Slave_531, but while that's a great picture that I'd love for all our members to enjoy here, we should probably leave the exclusive content to the folks that it's exclusive to, at least for the time being anyway... Thanks for the heads up though. Nice of you to be looking out for your fellow JD'ers here!
So head on over to FBTB.net for a shot of this great looking set in all it's glory!

Yes, Magician's Nephew explains how they discovered/entered Narnia, which is why they call it #1 in the series.

Gareth @ FBTB Posted this :
Thanks to Kris Van de Sande for the news.
This is great! $100 for a huge Cloud City playset, and minifigs galore. And we're finally getting a Brown Lando! I can't wait to get this!
Quote
He's coming in a monstrous modular bespin playset. There's a landing dock, dining room, two pieces of duel scenery, freezing chamber and torture room.Also he added this later:
Figs include Luke, Leia, Lando, Han, Boba Fett, Vader and a Stormie.
Just watched the big unveiling at brickfest via streaming video. September-ish release, shop@home only, $100.
Quote
Well, I guess I'll describe it in as much detail as I can since my gaming companions for the evening seem to be stumped on how to get wilco working.Check it out HERE.
The components (in the order of unveiling):
1. Dining room. White interior, table, couple of chairs. Has only one wall I think, in addition to the floor. Floor and wall are both about 16 x 16 studs in size. The door slides up and down, and can be raised and lowered by turning a nearby knob.
2. Dark room. Couldn't see this one very well. I thought it was the room where Han was tortured and Chewie was held, but later, I think he used the same module to show the "Luke being flung out the window by Vader" action. It launches luke through a TIE Fighter windscreen and halfway across the room.
3. Landing dock. Sort of blah. It's got a bunch of those huge bricks with round corners like from the girlie faerie sets whose name I forget. Not much detail. That I could see, anyway.
4. Freezing chamber. Didn't get a good look at it, sorry, but I imagine there's some sort of dunking mechanism.
5. Bridge thingy where vader and luke duel. Looks good. Very good. No discernabled functions. Has a hand rail similar to Brucey Wan's, but it's much smaller.

I've read the first two. They seemed okay to me. I might get back into reading them some day.

I just felt like bumping this to see what everybody thinks about the latest flaming and the return of "Post Padding".
